Jaxson Dart will be able to throw to his No. 1 wide receiver when the New York Giants open training camp next week.
Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers will not begin training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he continues to recover from a knee injury. There is also a “realistic possibility” that Nabers could play in the Giants’ Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, ESPN reported Thursday.
Avoiding the PUP list leaves open the possibility that Nabers could be active for the start of the regular season. Had Nabers been on the PUP list through the end of training camp and the preseason, he would have been forced to miss New York’s first four regular-season matchups.
Nabers suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee during the Giants’ Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last season. He underwent surgery in late October, followed by a secondary cleaning procedure in the spring.
While Nabers rehabbed, the Giants made some moves to add to their wide receiver depth during the offseason. They reunited with Odell Beckham Jr. after signing veterans Darnell Mooney, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Calvin Austin and Braxton Berrios. New York also selected Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields in the third round of April’s draft and signed former Baltimore Ravens standout tight end Isaiah Likely.
Nabers, whom the Giants selected in the first round of the 2024 draft, had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns last season. He had 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie.
